This looks like Hastings, also known as Battle. Dad: Well, you know me. I long have wanted to see where the Battle of Hastings actually occurred. Wes: For me, I like exploring the Castle. Whadaya [What do you] prefer, Mom? Mom: I would like to see Battle Abbey and Beachy Head. [They also see the chalk Cliffs of Dover before stopping for the night.] Molly: Good evening, we are pleased that you chose to stay at our Bed and Breakfast. Dinner will be on the table in 30 minutes. Your rooms are ready upstairs. Mom: Thank you. We had good references about this place. What time is breakfast? Molly: Usually at 7 O'clock. Will you be visiting Stonehenge? Wes: That's the plan. But, we'll catch some shuteye first. Molly: Excuse me. What did you say? Wes: Catch a few zzs. Go to sleep. Molly: Oh. You have a rather odd manner of speech. [They all have a good laugh. After a typical light breakfast, they wave farewell and drive to Stonehenge.] Mel: Stand still, Wes, so I can snap a picture of you in front of Stonehenge. Wes: Are you bent on getting pictures for your Facebook page? Mel: Maybe. Anyway, you'll get a bang out of my computer work. Mom: Hurry up, Dad wants to visit Avebury and Silbury Hill. Mel: Can we see the Uffington Horse? Mom: No doubt. He's no slouch in stopping at tourist and historical sites. We certainly get an opportunity to tour the world!
